The Best Places to Get Away from It All
Cobalt Coast Resort and Suites, Grand Cayman (tel. 888/946-5656; www.cobaltcoast.com or www.divetech.com), is the best resort for divers on Grand Cayman (it's great for nondivers as well). Opening onto Boatswains Bay, in the residential community of West Bay, it is a charming self-contained community that houses its guests in a series of well-furnished accommodations that include oceanfront suites.
The Retreat at Rum Point, Grand Cayman (tel. 866/947-9135; www.theretreat.com.ky), opens onto a white-sand beach located on an isolated, tranquil point. Although this condo complex is only 35 minutes by car from the bustle of George Town, it seems worlds away.
Morritt's Tortuga Club & Grand Resort, Grand Cayman (tel. 800/447-0309; www.morritt.com), is located on 3 beach-bordering hectares (7 1/2 acres) at the eastern end of the island. The area around the condos offers some of Grand Cayman's very best diving, but you need not be a diver to enjoy this secluded resort.
The Reef Resort, Grand Cayman (tel. 800/232-0541; www.royalreef.com), a timeshare/condo complex, is situated on the remote East End, a 32km (20-mile) drive from the airport and a 45-minute trip from George Town. The large, luxurious beachfront units, each boasting a balcony, overlook serene Colliers Bay.
Walton's Mango Manor, Cayman Brac (tel. 345/948-0518; www.waltonsmangomanor.com), located within a lush garden on 1.2 hectares (3 acres) of land on Cayman Brac's remote north shore, is an excellent B&B.
Almond Beach Hideaways, Cayman Brac (tel. 866/222-8528; www.almondbeachhideaways.com), features two-bedroom villas that open onto a beachfront of white sand and coconut palms, guaranteeing tranquillity and privacy.
Little Cayman Cottage, Little Cayman (tel. 345/945-4144; www.caymanvillas.com), is a two-bedroom cottage set on a white sandy beach -- the perfect hideaway. You'll have an instant home here, with room enough for six of your closest friends and family (or whomever you choose), plus a fully equipped kitchen. The only sound you'll hear is the pounding surf.
